What this country needs:
- an end to parties so people will vote the MAN not the party line.
- accountability and huge repercussions for those who fail in this
- end the nanny state FDR post-depression era bullshit that ruined us with the exception of social security for 65+. all other nonsense needs to go away.
- end taxes that we don't need, and increase taxes on imports/duties/tarrifs.
While there already are import taxes, they aren't enough. ALL of our business is gone. all of it. the only thing we have is corn. and shit, thats only here because its subsidized. And guess what happens when the water is gone (more on this below)
I'd by a GM is a similiar car from honda cost twice as much here, wouldn't you?.
if an impala was 20k and a camry was 40k, what would you buy for your family?
That's the way to save GM.
If your hdtv made here costs 2000, but your samsung cost 4k, what would you buy?
"bad week for business, fuck you pay me"
the mafia gets shit done.
america became pussies and we got and continue to get walked all over from everyone because we let it happen.
There was a 3% income tax imposed in 1861 and repealed in 1862 to pay for the civil war.
There was no income tax again until 1913 and it's been around ever since.
How did our country get by before 1913? we have massive taxes now and we can't even come close to breaking even.
Simply put, government got too big. It can't run itself effectively anymore. It is NOT too big to fail, and it will fail. if something doesn't start happening in 2012 or the next term, our kids and their kids are fucked. For real. total poverty. india/china will be the powers. we will be invaded and overrun by private miliatiats with funding.
the dollar will collapse.
there won't even be bread lines
start saving some seeds and get a cow and chickens now before its too late.
wait till gas is $20 a gallon.
it will happen soon. especially after we find out that 50% of our oil is currently spilling into the gulf unusable. who knows how big that pocket is or how far its connected. literally ALL the oil left in the world could be pouring in.
And what are they doing? pooling it and lighting it on fire.
after the $20 gas, comes the $20 water. of yeah, water is already running out in some areas. Cali, vegas, new york city, you're fucked. The SECOND theres some politics or some drought, your water is getting shut off for good. your money is worthless.
The end is coming. it might not even be from war or from a natural disaster. we've simply tapped out the planet, continue to have too many of the wrong kids (working families : 1.3, welfare familes: 5 stating facts here, not being a racist). poverty and crime breeds poverty and crime.
look at all the nonsense going on today. the cop punching a 17 year old is NATIONAL news! really? who gives a fuck about a cop doing his job.
we know more about celebrities than we do about peak oil, solar power, or anything else.
i can go on about this for hours, but i'm just going to get myself pissedoff for nothing.
This makes me think of the film "The Road" though that movie is about us killing the planet or whatever but that is really my biggest fear is that we end up in that kind of situation.
The problem is that most people know that our system is jacked up but most people do not want real change. I will give you an example of how the current system is setup. No one likes pork; no one likes cost over runs on huge projects in the federal government.
Here is the issue though; we have the F-22 Raptor; a joint Lockheed Martin / Boeing 5th generation fighter. Now it has been behind schedule and off budget projects off and on for a very long time. We have politicians that blow blood vessels when they talk about cost overruns and pork right? Well Senator Hatespigs will continually approve additional funds for the F-22 two days after talking about the massive waste the government produces. Why is that? Well Lockheed / Boeing are very, very good at ensuring their programs do not get nixed. They accomplish this by building a plant just outside of Houston we’ll say. This plant employs 1500 employees and they make the hydraulics for the wings; this happens to be Sen. Hatespigs district. Now you have a fabrication shop of 600 in St. Louis that installs the hydraulics in the wing that was made in Charlotte. Then you have the plant that makes the landing gear, tires, nuts and bolts, screws, and glass. On and on it goes they spread each component out over as many districts as possible. This helps ensure that one or two reps do not get on a high horse and kill their program.
Reps are always talking about how many jobs they have saved or created. And because they want to stay in power why in the world would they speak out against something that can cost them the next election? If a plant employees 500 people and it gets shut down and your opponent can spin it that it’s your fault it got shut down, which they will, you have effectively lost the support of 1500 people. Figuring that each plant worker convinces a few friends and family members to vote against you because you cost them the job.
Which brings me back to people enjoying pork; quid pro quo is normally how these jobs that people like so much are created. And pork is horrible as long as it isn’t the pork that feeds their family. This is a fundamental issue with our nation in my opinion. They want hard hitting changes as long as it doesn’t hit them.
-Those in Aero Space- I know this isnt exactly how a plane is built, its just an example.
